Hi! My name is Arda Hajjar. I’m a textile designer and artist currently pursuing my B.F.A. in Textile/Surface Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. My work bridges creative exploration and technical proficiency, blending hand-drawn and digital techniques with an emphasis on texture, color, and material. With a strong foundation in woven, printed, and digital textiles, I bring intentionality and creativity to every project. This site showcases a selection of academic and personal work that reflects both my design sensibility and experimental, hands-on approach to making.
